“…This result can be interpreted by two bias. On one hand, the lower differentiation profile of people in high school may have served as a barrier to decision-making for enrolling in college, according to the findings reported by Hirsch and Läge (2008), Im (2011) and Nauta and Kahn (2007), with respect to such variables as maturity and readiness for career choice. On the other hand, the fact that the participants who did not complete high school experienced a discontinuity in their studies may have contributed to a lower specification of their interests (Lent et al, 1994;Savickas, 1995).…”

“…This question emerged from a review of the scientific literature on the subject, which indicates that the level of differentiation is related to favorable aspects of career decisions (Hirsch & Läge, 2008;Im, 2011;Nauta & Kahn, 2007) and that its refinement is enhanced by academic and work experiences (Lent et al, 1994). On the other hand, Savickas (1995Savickas ( , 1999 noted that the development of interests can also be explained by various activities throughout life that are not necessarily linked to the world of work.…”

“…This index can facilitate the interpretation of an interest profile because it can indicate how the preferences are defined by evaluating the professional activities that may be relevant to the definition of intervention strategies in situations of career guidance. Althought Nauta (2010) had asserted that this concept lacks empirical consistency and its predictive power is only median, it's important to note that profile differentiation seems to be predictor of annual income (Huang & Pearce, 2013), positively associated with readiness for career decisions (Hirsch & Läge, 2008), vocational identity, self-efficacy, maturity for professional choices (Hirschi, 2011;Im, 2011;Nauta & Kahn, 2007) and negatively with job instability (Wille, De Fruyt, & Feys, 2010).…”

Vocational interests can be defined as standards of preference, aversion or indifference to professional activities, but little is known about the factors involved in their development. From this perspective, this study attempted to clarify which variable, age or schooling, better fit comparisons of profile differentiation index. To this end, we analyzed the Escala de Aconselhamento Profissional (Professional Counseling Scale) responses of 6,824 Brazilian students between 14 and 50 years old with various levels of education. Differentiation of the interest profile was observed by subtraction between dimensions with lower and higher scores. Normality of the distributions was verified and then Analysis of Variance and Tukey's post hoc test were conducted in relation to groups of age and schooling. The results suggest that schooling is a more appropriate variable to compare the differentiation of interests. The implications and limitations of this study are discussed, and suggestions for future studies are given.Keywords: vocational guidance, occupational choice, professional development, professional interests Nível de Diferenciação do Perfil de Interesses Profissionais: Estudo Comparativo por Idade e Escolaridade em Amostra BrasileiraResumo: Os interesses profissionais podem ser definidos como padrões de preferência, aversão ou indiferença em relação a atividades profissionais, mas pouco se sabe sobre os fatores envolvidos em seu desenvolvimento. A partir dessa perspectiva, este estudo teve como objetivo clarificar qual variável, idade ou escolaridade, melhor se ajusta às comparações dos índices de diferenciação dos perfis. Para tanto, foram analisadas as respostas à Escala de Aconselhamento Profissional (EAP) de 6824 estudantes brasileiros entre 14 e 50 anos com vários níveis de escolaridade. A diferenciação do perfil de interesses foi observada pela subtração entre as dimensões com pontuações mais altas e mais baixas. A normalidade da distribuição foi verificada e então Análises de Variância e prova post hoc de Tukey foram conduzidas em relação aos grupos de idade e escolaridade. Os resultados sugeriram que a escolaridade é a variável mais apropriada para comparar a diferenciação dos interesses. As implicações e limitações deste estudo são discutidas e sugestões para estudos futuros são fornecidas.Palavras-chave: orientação vocacional, escolha profissional, desenvolvimento profissional, interesses profissionais Nivel de Diferenciación del Perfil de Intereses Vocacionales: Estudio Comparativo por Edad y Escolaridad en una Muestra BrasileñaResumen: Los intereses profesionales pueden ser definidos como padrones de preferencia, aversión o indiferencia a las actividades profesionales, pero se sabe poco acerca de los factores que intervienen en su desarrollo.

“…Dipeolu et al (2013) found that career maturity scores predicted vocational identity. Studies also reported a positive correlation with career development skills (Hirschi 2010;Sung et al 2012), commitment to career choices (Diemer and Blustein 2007;Ladany et al 1997), and differentiation of vocational interests (Hirschi 2011b;Im 2011). Nonetheless, Healy et al (1990) and Hirschi and Läge (2008b) were unable to correlate vocational identity with participants' college enrollment plans or to their coherence of career aspirations, respectively.…”

Psychosocial Development Factors Associated with Occupational and Vocational Identity Between Infancy and Adolescence

The identification with an occupation is a challenge most adolescents face in their transition into adulthood. Psychosocial development theory suggests that adolescents' identification with an occupation develops across the lifespan, making youth work roles, choices, and behaviors products of their integrated psychosocial development experiences. This review examines the existing occupational and vocational identity literature to identify the associations with factors relevant to psychosocial development between infancy and adolescence, and integrates them to provide a more comprehensive understanding of how adolescents identify with an occupation. The review reveals that the factors important to healthy psychosocial development in each of Erikson's five preadult stages largely were predictive of occupational identity status in adolescence. Disagreement was present in the literature, with most of it centered on the role of complex outer and environmental factors. The review highlights gaps in the literature and prioritizes areas for future research based largely on a return to Erikson's intention of treating occupational identity as developmental. The review adds to the current debates and knowledge of youth development and of how adolescents identify with an occupation by providing an integration of the existing empirical evidence not just at the point of adolescence, but also across the entire pre-adult lifespan.

“…Além das pontuações tradicionais fornecidas pelos inventários de interesses, alguns autores enfatizam a importância de se utilizar também os conceitos secundários de interesses de forma complementar para que haja assim uma melhor compreensão do desenvolvimento de carreira do indivíduo (Bullock & Reardon, 2008;Holland, 1997;Im, 2011;Jaensch, Hirschi, & Spurk, 2016). Dois desses conceitos secundários são a elevação dos interesses e a nitidez ou diferenciação do perfil dos interesses.…”

Os estudantes de Psicologia devem realizar escolhas profissionais durante o curso, podendo vivenciar um período angustiante. O objetivo deste artigo foi buscar evidências de validade e precisão para a Escala de Interesses por Áreas da Psicologia (EIAPsi) e verificar as diferenças do sexo e período do curso nas médias dos interesses. Participaram 980 estudantes de Psicologia que responderam a EIAPsi. Os resultados indicaram 11 fatores como melhor estrutura para EIAPsi, os quais apresentaram bons índices de precisão. Notou-se que as mulheres pontuaram mais que os homens nas áreas Saúde e Jurídica, sendo o oposto observado na área Docência e Pesquisa. Os estudantes do fim do curso apresentaram um perfil de interesses mais discriminado que os demais. A partir dos resultados foi possível identificar a viabilidade da utilização da EIAPsi por estudantes de Psicologia no contexto brasileiro.
